JEE MainPhysicsMotion in A PlaneMCQ+4 / −1
The position co-ordinates of a particle moving in a 3-D coordinate system is given by x = a cos t y = a sin t and z = a t The speed of the particle is :
- A
- B
- C
- D2a
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Given position coordinates
The particle has coordinates:
We need the speed, i.e. the magnitude of velocity:
- Differentiate each coordinate w.r.t. time
- Compute speed
Substitute into the velocity magnitude formula:
Factor out :
Using we get:
- Match with options
The correct option is:
